"Sanu's ten year career saw him play for six different teams, including a lengthy Atlanta Falcons stint that lasted three and a half years before he was traded to the Patriots in the middle of the 2019 season. During that stint, he helped form one of the most efficient receiving duos in the league with Julio Jones, propelling Atlanta to a top-10 passing offense for each of his full three years."
"Sanu played a crucial role in Atlanta's 2016 Super Bowl 51 run and the following year's playoff run, putting him in the company of the Falcons' best recent #2 receiving options like Roddy White (in the Julio years), Harry Douglas, and Mike Pritchard. Always a sure handed receiver, Sanu finished with a 71.9 catch percentage, which is one of the highest in team history for any receiver with over 100 targets."
Mohamed Sanu officially announced his retirement from the NFL on X Friday, closing a ten-year professional career. Sanu had not played on an NFL team since 2022, with his last regular season roster appearance in 2021. He played for six teams and had a three-and-a-half-year stint with the Atlanta Falcons before a mid-2019 trade to the New England Patriots. He formed an efficient receiving duo with Julio Jones that helped Atlanta finish as a top-10 passing offense during his full three seasons and contributed to the Falcons' 2016 Super Bowl run. Sanu finished with a 71.9 catch percentage and completed seven of eight NFL pass attempts for a perfect passer rating.
